Welcome to this months blog hop with...

The Creating Blog Hops Cafe'

This months theme is...

Graduation

 

My project for this hop is a graduation card.  I have a couple of nieces and a nephew who are graduating next month so I’m not sure who this is for yet.

I printed the word Graduate right on the card front and then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out. When that was done I embossed it using my Cuddlebug and a fancy folder.  I mounted a verse on the front using pop dots and then added a couple of brads and wrapped some ribbon around them.   The inside of the card was also printed and cut out with my Cameo.  I stamped the word Congrats! on with a clear stamp.

The sentiment is one that I created and gave away as a freebie HERE.  I decided to spotlight it on a polaroid film and added the camera to the bottom. 
 
 
The camera was a freebie from The Stamping Chef.  I colored it using copics.

The double-pointed flag at the bottom of the card was cut from an embossed piece of friendship cardstock that I purchased from HomeSense.  I sponged some blue ink from Stamping Up (Pool Party Classic) over the words to make them stand out a bit.
 
 
 
 
 
Here is a peek at the inside of my card….

Friday Freebie Is Coming

The Friday Freebie will be delayed but I will be posting it before the end of the day! I am sorry it's late. As I said last week, I have a very serious issue that I am dealing with in my family and my time must be focused on that. However, having said that, I find that creating is very therapeutic for me so I do still try to create as much as time allows. Thanks for understanding!

The Friday Freebie...

Just letting you know that I have had a personal issue come up in my family and I will not be able to release a freebie today. If I can get one out over the weekend I will, otherwise it will return again next Friday. Thank you for your understanding!
